Summary:
“I’m not regretting breaking up with Taylor,” Buck says. “It just… would have been nice to go with someone, is all. Don’t get me wrong, I’m completely over Ali, and I’m happy for her and everything, but…” “But you also want to show that she’s not the only one who could move on,” Eddie says. And yeah. That’s pretty much right on the money. Always Eddie, to see him, ugliness and all. It’s a shit thought to have, because the last person Ali Martin’s big day is about is him, but— Well, but. He’s thirty-one and in love with his best friend, who is decidedly not in love with him. He thinks he’s earned the right to be a little uncharitable. Then Eddie says, very casually, “Just take me.” Or, Buck gets invited to an ex’s wedding. Eddie volunteers to come as his date.
